Did you env-update?

I set LANG and a few other things in /etc/env.d/02locale

Here's a quick init script called test

#!/sbin/runscript

start() {
    set | grep LANG
}

Now, lets see what it does

uberpc init.d # ./test start
 * Starting service test
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_GB.utf8
    set | grep LANG
 * Service test started OK

So we're not ignoring it. Maybe the process itself doesn't use LANG ?

Thanks
